Oral health is a key indicator of overall health, well-being and quality of life. It encompasses a range of diseases and conditions that include dental caries, Periodontal disease, Tooth loss, Oral cancer, Oral manifestations of HIV infection, Oro-dental trauma, Noma and birth defects such as cleft lip and palate. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 estimated that oral diseases affect 3.5 billion people worldwide, with untreated dental caries being among the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the incidence of oral cancer was within the top three of all cancers in some Asian-Pacific countries in 2018.
Oral diseases encompass a range of diseases and conditions that include dental caries, periodontal (gum) disease, tooth loss, oral cancer, oro-dental trauma, noma and birth defects such as cleft lip and palate. Oral diseases are among the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide, affecting an estimated 3.5 billion people. While the global burden of oral health conditions is growing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, the overall burden of oral health conditions on services is likely to keep increasing because of population growth and ageing.
Oral diseases disproportionately affect the most vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. People of low socioeconomic status carry a higher burden of oral diseases and this association remains across the life course, from early childhood to older age, and regardless of the country's overall income level.
Most oral diseases and conditions share modifiable risk factors with the leading noncommunicable diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and mental disorders). These risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption and unhealthy diets high in free sugars, all of which are increasing at the global level. There is a proven relationship between oral and general health. It is reported, for example, that diabetes is linked with the development and progression of periodontitis. Moreover, there is a causal link between high consumption of sugars and diabetes, obesity and dental caries.
The WHO Oral Health Programme leads the work on setting the globaloral health policy agenda in close collaboration with member states andother key stakeholders. Recent momentum has led to the development ofkey policy documents to support countries in moving towards universalhealth coverage for oral health by 2030. These include the Global strategy on oral health, the Global oral health action plan and the Global oral health status report.
Oral Health in America: Advances and Challenges is a culmination of two years of research and writing by over 400 contributors. As a follow up to the Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health in America, this report explores the nation's oral health over the last 20 years.
Scientific and technological advances present opportunities to improve the oral health of individuals and communities. These discoveries can drive new approaches for person-centered oral health care and help guide decision making by researchers, policy makers, clinicians, and individuals.
For this issue, we especially want to encourage multimedia submissions and to push thinking around new technologies for both interviewing and oral history project outcomes. This might include, for example, for the blind and seeing impaired, not only audio but perhaps screen reader (or text-to-audio) software. For people who are deaf or hearing impaired, the use of signed interviews with video online (ASL), closed captioning, and downloadable transcripts. Or for people with neurocognitive differences, intellectual disabilities, and other conditions, anything from assistive devices to language cues within an interview to the use of photos to aid in story capture.
Since 1966, the OHA has served as the principal membership organization for people committed to the value of oral history. Job tasks assigned to the program associate include assisting in planning the annual meeting, maintaining accounts, overseeing the membership roster, managing the OHA website, and other general administrative tasks. Travel to the fall annual meeting and mid-winter Council meeting is required (with costs covered by OHA). The successful candidate should have good project management skills, a friendly customer-service mindset, self-motivation, strong attention to detail, writing and editing skills, as well as experience with online software such as WordPress, QuickBooks, and membership and event registration platforms. Experience with basic bookkeeping and financial management required. Event planning experience preferred.
Work is underway on a new OHA website! As part of the redesign, we would love to integrate photos from our members! We ask for photos featuring: OHA annual meetings, other OHA events, OHA members, and/or oral history work. You can use this form to upload 10 photos at a time. Thanks in advance for helping to make our new website a reflection of our community
For this online symposium, OHA invites oral history practitioners and scholars from all disciplines who utilize oral history in their work to submit paper or roundtable proposals detailing any number of intersections between artificial intelligence and oral history. Submissions are due by January 1st, 2024. Click Here to learn more about the symposium and the submission process.

In the United States, people are more likely to have poor oral health if they are low-income, uninsured, and/or members of racial/ethnic minority, immigrant, or rural populations who have suboptimal access to quality oral health care. As a result, poor oral health serves as the national symbol of social inequality. There is increasing recognition among those in public health that oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease and general health conditions such as obesity and diabetes are closely linked by sharing common risk factors, including excess sugar consumption and tobacco use, as well as underlying infection and inflammatory pathways. Hence, efforts to integrate oral health and primary health care, incorporate interventions at multiple levels to improve access to and quality of services, and create health care teams that provide patient-centered care in both safety net clinics and community settings may narrow the gaps in access to oral health care across the life course.
Several viruses transmitted through saliva, such as herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, and Zika virus, are capable of infecting and replicating in the oral mucosa, leading to painful oral ulcers. Few studies have described the oral manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There is growing evidence that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the main host cell receptor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is highly expressed on the epithelial cells of the tongue and of the salivary glands, which may explain the development of dysgeusia in patients with COVID-19. Hence, it is important to understand if SARS-CoV-2 can infect and replicate in oral keratinocytes and fibroblasts, causing oral ulcerations and superficial necrosis. Here, we report a series of 8 cases of COVID-19 infection, with oral necrotic ulcers and aphthous-like ulcerations which developed early in the course of disease after the development of dysgeusia and affected the tongue, lips, palate, and oropharynx. A short review of the literature regarding the important role of ACE2 in SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry is also provided, bringing new insights into oral keratinocytes and minor salivary glands as potential targets.
Below are the annual schedule of Supreme Court oral argument dates, the monthly assignment of Supreme Court cases scheduled for oral argument or consideration on briefs, and the monthly case synopses.
Please note that this feature is only available for arguments heard in the Supreme Court Hearing Room in Madison. Although the link is always available, it will be active only when oral arguments are in session. If you click on the link when oral arguments are not in session you will receive a message "The system could not find the file specified" or there will be silence. See the monthly oral argument schedule for date and time of upcoming oral arguments.
Recordings of oral arguments are available for all cases heard from September 1997 to present. Oral arguments heard in Madison are made available shortly after the conclusion of the argument while arguments heard outside of Madison are made available as soon possible. To listen to the live broadcast of an oral argument being heard in Madison, use the link above.
The Supreme Court normally holds oral arguments once a month on three consecutive days. On each day that oral arguments are held, the Supreme Court usually hears 3 separate cases. Each side is allotted 20 minutes to argue, for a total of 40 minutes of argument per case. There is a 10-minute recess between the arguments.
Recording, broadcasting, televising, or photographing of oral arguments may be done only with the permission of the Supreme Court upon written request filed with the Clerk in compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 14.
Submission schedules, which list the names of the attorneys arguing the cases and the order the cases will be argued in, are posted the FRIDAY PRIOR to oral argument week. If you have an interest in attending oral argument, you can verify the date/time and order of setting by viewing schedules posted on the Submission Schedules page.
